The Democratic Left Front says civic society should come up with several strategies to protect public interest against legislation like the proposed Protection of Information Bill.
Prominent media activist, Jane Duncan says there is a notable broader scheme by government to prioritise security matters in the country at the expense of access to information.

Right2Know’s Jayshree Pather says an open flow of information is a clear sign of credible democracy.
